Glad you all enjoyed the video. I came across it after watching Rick Beato's interview with Steve. If you want to watch the interview, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jxp9k72M1c

@rettrussell  The price of repair was that Steve come and jam with them in their rehearsal space.....and he came down and played! Wow !  They must be pretty hot players. I can't imagine placing myself in that situation.

@tablejockey  A Jeff Beck cover is a tall order.  Morse is in the small company of players who can pull it off. I agree... @mitchagain  Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

@mkorsunsky Ever heard of irony or phrasemes (fixed expressions)?​ ​​​ Yes. But when utilized without providing a context, they don’t communicate much. While I appreciate the additional information, it’s still not clear to me how those two c...

@onhwy61 I suspect I’m not the only one who unconsciously assumes my heroes will never grow old. Watched Otis Gibb’s interview with Ray Benson last week and I wouldn’t have recognized him, had I not known who he was before tuning in.

Sadly, Morse is afflicted with serious arthritis. Notice how he plays much more from the elbow, now. Rick Beato did an interview with him in which he goes into, among other things, his efforts to find workarounds. I saw him just once with the Dre...

@soix Paul McGowan: "What is PRaT and do the British do it Better?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YGgMpX3XII FWIW, he says, regarding pace, rhythm and timing, "I think it’s one of those things that, if you haven’t ever experienced them, it’... 
What exactly is PRaT???
@soix No. I do not. A system either plays music the way I perceive it or it does not. Well, that’s pretty definitive! Considering the fact that you are a drummer and (I presume) very familiar with how rhythms "feel" in your body, I don’t feel...
